Philanthropy

The Jackie Watson-Jones ’71 Annual Scholarship for Education Majors will make a difference for future teachers.

This year saw 80 percent of Elon University employees make gifts to the institution in support of student scholarships, athletics programs and more. The increased engagement comes as Elon pursues its ambitious Elon LEADS Campaign, which seeks to raise $250 million during the next three years. 

Allison Fox ’15 creates scholarship opportunities for women who wish to study business at Elon. The generous gift targets two priorities of Elon LEADS, the largest fundraising campaign in the university’s history.

The fundraising drive held leading up to the inauguration of Book as Elon's ninth president in October 2018 will fund the purchase of 1,000 books for the local school system. 

A generous gift from Richard ’87 P’17 and Laurie Johnson P’17 focus on two priorities of the Elon LEADS Campaign, the largest fundraising campaign in the university’s history.

The gathering in the Schar Center provided the opportunity for hundreds of Elon leaders and supporters to learn more about the campaign and its priorities. 

The seven-year fundraising campaign is the largest in the university’s history, with a central focus on expanding financial support for students.

Christine Gordon P'16, P'19 and her late husband, Sheldon, established a new endowed professorship of entrepreneurship.

This gift represents a historic investment in Alamance County students with high financial need. These scholarships are among the top priorities of the upcoming Elon LEADS Campaign, the largest fundraising campaign in the university’s history.

The generous commitment from Robert and Kim Graybill P’21, of Sparks, Maryland, will broaden access to Elon and create an enduring tribute to service in law enforcement and the military.
